| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Brookside Golf Club in Pasadena, California, "a golf course that...[serves] as a parking lot for the Rose Bowl game and [generates] revenue for the city on the other 364 days of the year." States that cars are parked on the golf course because "the revenue drives...[the] decision. It's bigger than the golf course." Discusses "what is involved in converting the course to a parking lot and back again and everything that fans leave behind." Explains that "on football weekends or for the Rose Bowl game, work to convert the course into a parking facility begins at dusk the day before the game...the process of preparing Brookside to accommodate 6 a.m. Sunday tee times begins two hours after each game." Discusses how "any damage that occurs at Brookside often is directly related to how UCLA [University of California, Los Angeles] fares on the football field." States that "the long-term wear of vehicles entering and leaving the course does take its toll, most notably in the form of compacted soil in areas used as major traffic lanes." Discusses "the occasional mishaps where cars become trapped in one of Brookside's bunkers" and "the amount of trash left on the course." Concludes that "the experience of maintaining a golf course that doubles as a parking lot has made [superintendent Terrance Mayo] more disciplined as a superintendent." |
